Florida among 10 teams slated to wear new Nike uniforms

Nike picked 10 of its top college football teams to show off a new uniform design this season and one of them is Florida.
Nike will unveil the uniforms and announce which dates teams will wear them at a press conference Sept. 1

The other teams that will use the uniform for at least one game are Alabama, Boise State, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, TCU, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

The uniforms are called “Nike Pro Combat,” which seems a little over the top.

Nike’s press release said the company, “worked diligently with each university to bring relevant elements of the school’s rich heritage into the futuristic elite fit uniform designs. The collaborations with the universities produced the highly-customized uniforms.”

The Gators demoed a new Nike jersey in last year’s regular-season finale against Florida State.
